Comment on New GitHub repos to have default branches named “main” instead of “master”parent

Comments

I'm black, although not American. I don't wake up every morning thinking about "how deeply racist the word 'master' is". I'm not stupid, I understand that words can have different meaning depending on the context. All these things have absolutely nothing to do with me or my race, it's just a tiny clique of people who get off asserting power on others, nothing more.

Unfortunately, IT and open source orgs do pander to these people, something they will ultimately regret because these people pushing identity politics everywhere are not reasonable and they will always find something to get outraged at, at the expense of the org itself.
